    How to Create a Macro that automatically copies the cells in this range, when typing.

    Hi All,

    How to Create a Macro that automatically copies the cells in this range, when typing. To different selected sheets within the workbook.

    The Range:-

    B9:B1529
    C9:C1529
    D9:D1529

    Into theses Named sheets “Volunteer Info”, “Communications”, Volunteer Spoken Languages”, “EOPS Monitors”

    And to create a Macro that automatically copies the cells within the above range based on 3 criteria. In Column B “ID Region” it as a drop down box for each cell “GIR”,”LHS”,”LHW”

    Range B9:B1529

    If “GIR” is selected, then Copy all cells into Sheet “GIR London Roles”
    If “LHS” is selected, then copy all cells into Sheet “Lighthouse South Roles”
    If “LHW” is selected, then copy all cells into Sheet “Lighthouse West Roles”

    I want a Macro that does all that but I don’t know how to do it, can anybody help me please.

    Ok, what is the input sheet? i see you want the input copied into theses Named sheets “Volunteer Info”, “Communications”, Volunteer Spoken Languages”, “EOPS Monitors”

    But, where are you actually typing the input? Also, you only want the B-D columns copied over right?

    Actually the typing input is on the "Volunteer info" Sheet"
    Click B9 the drop down list appears, then you choose one of 3 ("GIR", "LHS","LHW").
    In C9 you enter input First name, D9 enter input Surname.
    When you input these fields, I want it copied auto on the other sheets into the same cells etc.

    i've tried a couple of responses here....but keep rambling on. looks like what you want is a full blown database. keeping the tabs you've presented straight within excel would be a pain in the **** -- you can easily replicate the b-d columns...but that would be a bad idea.

    There is no connection between the tables with the other columns, so one sort on the "volunteer info" page would blow away anything you have entered. i'm sure you can design in controls to protect the sheets...but seems like you would be better served designing a form to populate an access database properly designed to allow you to pull queries for the other tabs.

    or, just enter alllllll the information in one really large table on the volunteer info tab and have a bunch of vlookup statements to present it in smaller chunks on the other tabs. Sounds really lame - but a sort wouldn't blow it away.
